Richardson is alleged to have made inappropriate advances towards multiple female employees as well as using a racial slur.

SI has learned that at least four former Panthers employees have received ‘significant’ monetary settlements due to inappropriate workplace comments and conduct by owner Jerry Richardson, including sexually suggestive language and behavior, and on at least one occasion directing a racial slur at an African-American Panthers scout.

Depending on how the league’s investigation plays out, it’s entirely possible that Richardson will be pressured into selling his stake in the franchise, similar to the same way Donald Sterling was ousted by the Los Angeles Clippers several years ago.
